Lyrics

Japanese

銀色のビルの森迷い込んで
出口を探してる
透き通る風が冷たく素肌に
尖って突き刺さる

もっと簡単に泣ける程素直になれないね
せめて自分を大切にして

寂しげな横顔俯いて微笑んでる
優しさは心に溶けてゆく
与えられたものを命の光に変えて
輝くストイックな月になる

もし時間に迷えば  私の名前を呼んで...

Romaji

giniro no biru no mori mayoi konde
deguchi wo sagashiteru
suki tooru kaze ga tsumetaku suhada ni 
togatte tsuki sasaru

motto kantan ni nakeru hodo sunao ni narenai ne
semete jibun wo daiji ni shite

sabishige na yokogao utsumuite hohoenderu
yasashisa wa kokoro ni tokete yuku
ataerareta mono wo inochi no hikari ni kaete
kagayaku STOIC na tsuki ni naru

moshi toki ni mayoeba watashi no namae wo yonde...

Long Version

Japanese

銀色のビルの森迷い込んで 出口を探してる 透き通る風が冷たく素肌に 尖って突き刺さる もっと簡単に泣ける程素直になれないね せめて自分を大切にして 寂しげな横顔俯いて微笑んでる 優しさは心に溶けてゆく 与えられたものを命の光に変えて 輝くストイックな月になる もうそろそろ一人で歩かなくちゃ 夢に置いてかれる もっと自信を持てるくらい強ければいいのに せめてもう弱音は吐かない 澱んだ街の中息を詰まらせないように 光は涼やかな風を呼ぶ あなたが暗闇で道を見失わぬように 私をささやかな月にして... 凍り付いてる迷いを強く 溶かすように抱き締めて 与えられたものを命の光に変えて 輝くストイックな月になる あなたが暗闇で道を見失わぬように 私をささやかな月にして... もし時間に迷えば 私の名前を呼んで...

Music Comment

A sad, madly in love female vocal! Blend of tenderness and intense emotions?

Song Production Information

ToMo K.

I'm the vocalist, ToMo K.
This is my first time singing in pop'n music. *g* Nice to meet you. Haya-P was the recording director. He was really good! *g* He helped make it really fun.
He had lots of ideas for the chorus part too that made it sound a lot more gorgeous than the original recording. Please pay attention to the chorus, too~

Ariko

I'm the lyricist and composer, Ariko. This is my first time making music for pop'n. Nice to meet you. I was also at the recording session. Haya-P and ToMo were really cool! ... so my luck as a composer ran out. Their suggestions really made the song shine!!!
Thanks to Mr. Mizuno for the wonderful arrangement, and to all of you as well.

This is a song by ".KoMoToMoK.". I guess I really like palindromes. One day, I was listening to the demo for this song, "Haya-P" said we should make a really great arrangement of this song. My heart beat a little bit faster, and I got to do the arrangement.

Anyway, getting to play with a song that you've never heard before is really exciting. It's kind of like when you're young, and ... "This year, I'll have my first sexual experience! What pressure~! pop'n is the BEST!!" I basically got to have my way with this arrangement; it was a little scary at first, but I eventually got it into a sound I like. Great, isn't it? I guess. There's no Sympathy here this time. Well anyway I guess what I really want to do is pay close attention like there's an incredible melody living in this song. I really like the part right before the chorus.

The end

Haya-P

When I first heard the demo, I thought, "Wow, the melody of the chorus is so [...]". It really makes you feel in the mood of the song ... so I really didn't get anywhere for a long time, so I wondered what it would be like if my number-one lonely-style (shouldn't that be moment-style!?) pal Mr. Mizuno arranged it? That's how he got the job. The part at the end that develops like a shower of questions is really nice.

We all thought about it there while we were recording the chorus, but there were just more and more of us, and in the end even the composer, Ariko, ended up participating. It seems almost like a gospel chorus somehow *g*
